I have a web application that I wish to poll the balance of a NEM address. Usually you can do this via an API somewhere, but the blockexplorer's don't have an API available that I have seen. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to easily do this?

theres a list of nodes on that page with public IP's. you should be able to query those nodes without problem. if you need to access information that you need the private key for, you might have to run ncc locally, connect to a remote nis and query the blockchain via Ncc. not 100% on the details but i think thats right

I tried and get this... {"timeStamp":32002963,"error":"Bad Request","message":"address must be valid","status":400}

The above doesn't work and I tried pulling accounts out of the explorer. THe ones starting with an N and a few dashes. I tried removing the dash. What would be a valid address for the above API call to work?

You're using a testnet address (starting with "T") and your node is prob on the mainnet.

No. Please reread what I said. Can someone give me the URL to a valid lookup that works? All I want is one NEM account having the account read via the API. I could try it again, but that seems pointless. Below is one example of what I have tried and no it is not a testnet.

I think that, in light of recent events in the world of crypto, there is speculation once again review the functions of the platform through the API, adjustment and precise work flawlessly platform resources, creating opportunities for adding modules on the Ethereum template or your own original format, I think that the demands on the use of resources through the API Nem, as shown by the trend will continue to grow, the platform should be ready for such moments

no matter what, activity at the last vote , I believe, a positive result, this indicates the active community Nem, expressed through democratic tools to change and improve in the shortest possible time, to regulate the process, to be on the first cast, good job Nem
